One part of this book I like is Filthy Food Andrew Borde was right about poor people eating little but porridge. In the Middle Ages the poor cooked in the kitchen with a big pot (cauldron) that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly peas to make pease porridge and didn't get much meat.
